Razorbacks, Wedding Bells, and Remembering

The three of us packed up and headed to Hot Springs this weekend!! Gracie was so excited that she could hardly handle the three hour car ride to see her grandma and grandpa and aunt Harley!!! She also had a hard time settling in the car due to her daddy's race car driving trying to get to the house in time to see the last episode of Big Brother before the big finale next week! We made it with 30 minutes left of the show...
For those interested...Jordan got sent packing!

The main thing on the agenda for the weekend were plans to attend my cousin Kelli Brown's wedding in Benton, she married her love Ryan Nichols. We got up early on Saturday to go shopping in town and visit the nail salon. We just happened upon a new dress for me for the wedding!!

The bad news is that the wedding happen to occur at the same time as the first Little Rock game for the Hogs which meant no tailgating and missing most of the game on TV...as you can imagine the men were a little disappointed!! After consultation, it was decided that they didn't have to attend and could stay home and watch the game on TV....

Now as the weekend comes to a close, there is remembering, as this is the 10 year anniversary of 9-11-01, the day in history that will never be forgotten, when America came under attack and so many people lost their lives. It is so sad watching again the accounts from the families that have lost loved ones and the emergency crew members that were there that day to rescue people from what they will remember as one of the most difficult days of their careers, the most difficult days of their lives....

Those that lost there lives totaled 2,996. There were 246 people on the four planes, 2,606 in New York City and 125 at the Pentagon. Nearly 2,000 families received no remains of their deceased loved ones. Never Forgotten.
Overall, glad we got to see some happiness to this sad day of rememberance... the Razorbacks beat New Mexico 52-3 and we were able to attend a beautiful wedding and visit with family that we haven't seen in a really long time!

Congratulations Ryan and Kelli Nichols!!
